Title: The Innovations of Dong-Whee Kwon
Introduction
Dong-Whee Kwon is a prominent inventor based in Kyunggi-do, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work primarily focuses on gate-contact structures, which are essential for the performance of semiconductor devices.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Gate-contact structure and method for forming the same." This invention provides a gate-contact structure that includes a device isolation layer pattern formed at a semiconductor substrate to define an active region. The structure features a gate electrode and a capping pattern that are sequentially stacked on the semiconductor substrate across the device isolation layer pattern. The capping pattern includes a first gate contact hole that exposes the top surface of the gate electrode. An interlayer insulation layer pattern, which includes a second gate contact hole, is disposed to cover the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate, including the gate electrode and the capping pattern. The second gate contact hole penetrates the first gate contact hole to expose the top surface of the gate electrode. A gate contact plug is then connected to the top surface of the gate electrode through the second gate contact hole. This innovative design ensures that the interlayer insulation layer pattern is intervened between the gate contact plug and the sidewall of the capping pattern.
